went to the range Sunday, took 230gr FMJ, 230gr lead round nose, 200gr lead round nose, and a box of 230gr Blazer Brass FMJ. The Blazer feed and shot fine. None of the reloads would feed at all. None would go fully to battery. All fed and ran fine in my 45acp carbine. I brought them back and compared all dimensions. All the reloads were with in thousands of an inch of the Blazer. I took OAL down from 1.269 to 1.245 and tightened the crimp up a touch. NOw they all drop fully into the CW45 barrel and my dummy rounds will hand feed through the gun. Anyone else had trouble with reloads on these guns??

Kahr says not to shoot them at all but I suspect that's just CYA. Now that you've adjusted and your rounds pass the drop test, I'll be curious to see how they feed. Let us know will ya? Thanks!

No trouble at all running reloads in my Kahr CM45.
(All my Kahrs run my reloads just fine for that matter)
It has flawlessly digested 500+ of my 200 gr LSWC, and 230 gr LRN reloads.
I use an OAL of 1.250" for both bullets.
I also have and use a Lee factory crimp die on all my auto pistol cal. reloads. = never have feed problems.
It sounds like yours will run now that you seated them shorter.
